  • Are there Pikachu-style pickleball courts?

    Pickleball has become one of the fastest-growing sports, attracting people of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re a community resident looking to add new amenities or a homeowner seeking a private playground, quality courts are key—and we at Shuangzhu are ready to help.

    Why is pickleball so popular?

    1. It’s accessible to all ages.

    Younger players crave its fast-paced pace (which blends elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis), while older players appreciate its low-impact design (smaller courts = less running, slower ball speeds).

    The number of players in the United States has jumped from approximately 482,000 (2021) to over 48.3 million (2023), proving the cross-generational appeal of pickleball.

    2. A growing tournament and community.

    Professional tours offer high purses, attracting global talent; local clubs host amateur leagues, fostering competition and camaraderie. Well-maintained courts are the cornerstone of this vibrant community. Media and social media buzz

    3. Professional games are being broadcast live on TV, and Instagram and TikTok are flooded with pickleball-related content (techniques, highlights). As more and more people join the game, the demand for high-quality courts is growing.

  • How our playground building materials helped bring this school’s vision to life？

    When this client contacted us, they had a clear goal: to upgrade their aging playground into a space capable of withstanding the state’s scorching summer heat, sudden thunderstorms, and accommodating hundreds of children daily.

    Just recently, they sent us a feedback video that delighted our team—it showcased the final field created using our full suite of materials: a durable, durable running track, a custom green artificial soccer field, and an easy-to-maintain basketball court floor.

    “It’s a world of difference,” the client told us. “Last summer, our old track was too hot for the kids to play on—but now, it stays cool in the sun, and even with daily use, there’s not a crack in sight.” He then panned his camera to capture the soccer field’s turf, its beautiful, natural color. “I thought it was real grass at first! It’s soft enough to roll on, yet firm enough—we’ll have soccer games every weekend, and I’m sure the kids will love it!” The basketball court also received praise: “It’s been raining lightly the past couple of days, but the surface is still very non-slip, allowing the kids to play safely even in the rain. It only takes us a few minutes to wipe off the mud. We really appreciate your team’s design and dedication!”

  • The low maintenance lawn creates the ideal area for children

    “The installation was much quicker than expected, and provided a wonderful surprise for our children when they came back after their half term break.

    “We are now able to teach children road safety using this fun and bright teaching aid that can be used in all weathers.”
    Molly Arnold, Project Co-ordinator for LazyLawn® said: “We are proud to have added to Brooke Hill Academy’s outdoor space, and we are finding more schools are interested in getting a LazyLawn® for themselves.

    “The low maintenance lawn creates the ideal area for children to play on all year round. Standing the pressure of lots of use, the area is also low-slip, with no muddy mess and no surface burns, unlike older style artificial turf.”

  • In fact an increasing number of schools and educational establishments up

    This isn’t the first school in Rutland to have transformed an under used, outside area into something more useful and entertaining. In 2016 Langham Primary School and in 2013 Cottesmore’s St Nicolas Primary and Nursery School commissioned LazyLawn to install a similar roadway as did Whissendine Primary School the following year.

    In fact an increasing number of schools and educational establishments up and down the country are opting to swap traditional surfaces for LazyLawn® because of the varied and innovative applications as well as its soft texture and longevity.

    Other similar installations have even included applying LazyLawn® to the walls of a classroom in order to provide a sensory experience for Special Educational Needs pupils.

    The Brooke Hill Academy project was funded by a sponsored jig, where a local dance teacher attended the school and parents, children and staff participated.

    Richard Westley, Head of School at Brooke Hill Academy, said: “We were so impressed by the quality of LazyLawn® that we decided to get our own.

  • Fun lawn is way to road safety for Oakham children

    Children in Oakham returned to school after half term recently to find a fun outdoor space ready for them to play on that also teaches them about road safety.

    A previously hard, concrete area is now soft, interesting to play on and educational at Brooke Hill Academy thanks to LazyLawn®. The space is also safe to use come rain or shine, especially whist riding their scooters and trikes.

    The UK’s leading supplier of artificial grass, which has its headquarters in nearby Market Overton, has installed the new play area at the Brooke Road school ahead of schedule and during half term in order to avoid disruption to the pupils.

    80 square metres of Fun Grass and Wonder Yarn 26mm was used to create a bespoke mock road, with coloured grass for tarmac, white lines, a parking bay and a grass surround.

    The result is an all-weather area designed to provide a setting for both playtime and outdoor learning.

  • The Lincolnshire: Bastion in the Air World War

    The launch will be welcoming 100 local VIP’s, the Commanding Officers of the UK’s RAF stations, the Air Officer Commanding 1 Group RAF and also all key partners in the project.

    Dave Harrigan MBE, Aviation Heritage Manager at Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire, said: “The Lincolnshire: Bastion in the Air World War I project is delighted to be working with LazyLawn®.

    “The authentic airfield is an exact replica of how it was in the First World War, complete with a grass runway area beautifully laid by LazyLawn®.

    “The intricate work and professional look of the diorama has been enhanced by LazyLawn®’s attention to detail, and we are very happy to have them as partners to this nationally recognised project.”

    Peter Footitt, Production Director at LazyLawn®, said: “We are proud to be involved in such an important event for the RAF. The exhibition looks very impressive so far and we are looking forward to seeing the finished product at the launch.”

  • LazyLawn helps hay fever sufferers to reclaim their gardens

    As the nation’s 10 million hay fever sufferers are braced for the pollen season, those determined to soak up the sunshine in their own gardens can fight back by swapping their grass for a LazyLawn.

    LazyLawn, the nations leading brand of artificial grass, is seeing an increase in enquiries from those looking for a solution to hay fever hell and a way to enjoy their gardens once more. As 95% of hay fever sufferers are allergic to grass pollen, installing an artificial lawn could help to reduce symptoms and allow people to reclaim their gardens.

    Andy Driver, Marketing Director at LazyLawn, comments: “A LazyLawn can be a great preventative measure for hay fever sufferers who want to be able to enjoy the warmer weather, rather than hiding themselves away.

    “Those with hay fever are advised to avoid exposure to grass and mowing the lawn in order to relieve symptoms, but people naturally want to make the most of spring and LazyLawn offers the perfect solution.

    “While synthetic grass won’t cure hay fever, installing a LazyLawn can help to minimise symptoms by limiting your exposure to grass pollen, creating hay fever free haven in your own garden.”

    Grass pollen, which contains proteins that cause the nose, eyes, throat and sinuses to become swollen, irritated and inflamed, usually disperses from late May to early August.

  • A level playing field

    The 7-a-side pitch was fitted with LazyLawn Vitality product in a 30mm depth in a project that took just over three months to complete. The install was slightly hampered by contending with British wintry conditions, the additional complication of groundworks and surface preparation and levelling out a natural dip that was discovered in the area. The surrounding fencing had been removed and there was additional remediation of the ground and replacement of the pin curbs to rectify.

    Right product for purpose and budget

    “We’ve worked with Steve and his team at LazyLawn and Xternal Worx since 2016 – the quality and the choice of product is superb.” explains Head Teacher Rachel Beckett, who was keen to ensure the high quality and finish had continuity across the playgrounds and sports surfaces at the Academy.  She also wanted to make sure the right product and specification was selected for purpose and budget. She continues: “Other suppliers were keen to push 3G and 4G pitches but Steve understood exactly what we really needed – this is a pitch for small children, after all!”. 

    Rachel and her grounds team were also impressed with the striped finish the Vitality 30mm created. With the fence removal, she could ensure the view from her office was unencumbered, perfect for her to enjoy the open space and keep an eye on the sporting activities of the pupils easily.

  • Delivering the client brief for visitor engagement

    The LazyLawn Creative team discuss the possibilities for the design each year, with ideas briefed by the management team at The Lexicon – and it never disappoints.

    Once again, I’m amazed at the end results on the steps this year. The LazyLawn team are brilliant – whatever wild and wacky ideas we throw at them, they always come back with a great interpretation of our design brief.

    This year, the step design and delivery has really taken our breath away – the combination of colours and its simple yet striking stripe design has been incredibly well received by all who have seen it. And particularly the public response has been fantastic – especially on a sunny day, it is attracting people to sit, take photos and enjoy what would otherwise be an unexciting space. It makes a great, bold, bright statement and we love it!

  • Simple but stunning surface design

    Developing the step story in artificial grass from that first 2019 installation in plain green with a simple one-step logo, this year’s artwork features red, yellow, green striped edges along the bright blue esplanade.  Finished with a repeating white The Lexicon logo, the team have used around 170 square metres of Fun Grass at a depth of 10mm.

    A finely-tuned puzzle

    As in the last five installations, the intricacies of each logo piece are pre-made at the company’s cutting facilities in Oakham, Rutland. This year saw the additional pre-cutting of the striped grass sections for each step. The puzzle is then assembled and skillfully installed in situ.

    Whilst the end results look seamless and straightforward, it is always a challenging installation – and one to which we love to rise! There’s a lot of preparatory work in the step sections themselves, as well as the assembly and accuracy required to fit and fix the pieces securely and safely in place. However, it’s always worth it when we take a step back and take in the overall effect when it’s complete.
